9. GMC Syclone

GMC’s little Sonoma pickup was a reliable V-6 work truck and for some reason in 1991 someone at GMC decided that it would be a good idea to stuff a turbocharger under its hood. The result was the GMC Syclone, a truck that at the time was the fastest pickup produced on the planet. This unassuming vehicle had a 280 horsepower V-6 engine. The all-wheel drive system and 350 lb-ft of torque allowed this bad boy to hit 60 mph in close to 5 seconds. Most people pulling up next to this truck at a stop light wouldn’t look twice, until the light turned green and it disappeared in a cloud of smoke. It was sadly only produced in 1991, and a total of 2,995 were made.
